New titles have been brought in for members of the Royal Family after the death of the Queen.
As well as a new King, we now have new Princes and Princesses of Wales after Charles III announced new titles for his eldest son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, also became the Duke of Cornwall, automatically, when Queen Elizabeth II died and Charles III became monarch. But he had to be confirmed as Prince of Wales by his father, as Charles received the title from the late Queen.
Charles III's wife, Camilla, became Queen Consort - at the request of the late Queen Elizabeth - when Charles became king. But you may be wondering if, as the King's wife, Camilla will eventually be referred to as the Queen, just as the late Queen's mother was called when her husband and Elizabeth II's father, George V, was the monarch.

Is Camilla, the Queen Consort, now the Queen?
As the wife of the King, Camilla is technically Her Majesty The Queen, but in their briefings and statements, Buckingham Palace has kept to Queen Consort.
A spokesman for the King did not rule out a shift when asked whether Camilla would forever more be known as Queen Consort, but said Charles and Camilla were concentrating instead on the events of the next week and a half.
“The King and Queen Consort are focused on getting through those next 10 days,” the spokesman said.
“I think those who saw the Queen Consort yesterday movingly meeting people outside Buckingham Palace know how moved she is at the moment and that’s her focus so that will be a question for the future.”
Former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said royal officials were being cautious.
“Despite all of the progress so far, royal officials – perhaps mindful of the Diana legacy – continue to be cautious about the precise nature of Camilla’s new status,” he said.
“They prefer to focus on the fact she’s the consort of a king. The reality is that Camilla is a Queen and Queen Camilla will be crowned at her husband’s coronation.”
How Royal titles have changed since Queen Elizabeth II's death
Some royal titles switch automatically with the passing of a monarch or somebody in the line of succession. Others require approval and confirmation from King Charles.
Charles and Camilla
Charles became king immediately upon his mother's death. His wife since 2005, Camilla, is now Queen Consort, as requested by Elizabeth II earlier this year when the then Queen declared: “When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” she said.
William and Kate
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, are now also the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, which was an automatic addition when Charles ascended to the throne. There is no new Duke or Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate keep those titles.
Charles III then named them Prince and Princess of Wales, a title the now King relinquished when he became monarch but had to formally award to his eldest son for him to take it.
William and Kate's children take the Wales titles too, and are now known as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis of Wales.
Harry and Meghan
Harry remains the Duke of Sussex and Meghan the Duchess of Sussex. Their titles did not change.
Their children, Archie and Lilibet, are now entitled to new titles of the Prince and Princess of Sussex, but these have to be confirmed by King Charles. Their names are on the line of succession without titles at the moment, but the King's spokesman confirmed that would change if and when the King announces Archie and Lilibet as the new Prince and Princess of Sussex.
